    Popping sound from 510 atty?

    It is kind of scary because it's a very forceful sound. I keep expecting flames to shoot out of the thing! What I've been doing is not putting it up to my mouth until after that initial pop sound. I think I've just got a bad batch of atties here. It was a box of four, the first of which was...

    Popping sound from 510 atty?

    The newest batch of 510 atties I got have been "popping" and I don't like them at all. They don't work as well as all the previous ones I've used (which never made this kind of sound). It's not the usual snap, crackle, sizzle that attomizers make, it's a very hard *POP*. I did a quick recording...

    Sinus Issues?

    I've had sinus pressure problems for many years and I haven't noticed any difference since I quit smoking and started vaping (I vape PG). The easy test for you would be to get some VG liquid and if that doesn't cause you any sinus pressure, you'll know your sinuses were irritated by the PG. I...

    When am I going to look & feel better?

    I really don't want to backtrack to tobacco (even in a safer form) if I can help it because I fear it would just suck me right back into addiction. But I have actually been curious about them. I think for me, I'd rather hold it off on that as a last resort, but it's good to know it has actually...

    Spontaneous drop in nicotine need

    Aside from mornings (when I still feel a need, it's just a weaker need that it was), I don't ever get cravings like I did for cigarettes either. I assume that's because I don't have to think about going to have a smoke. I can't just grab my e-cig and vape any time, so that nic craving...

    When am I going to look & feel better?

    Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate it. And I'm not going to go back to smoking. I've come too far to do that. Besides, the hell of quitting after 23 years of smoking is not something I want to repeat! I don't really think I have any medical issues. Like I said, I was fine before I quit —...

    From CNN.com Today/Eissenberg study with feedback

    What am I missing here that's got everyone so outraged. Aside from CNN throwing in the FDA's misleading tidbit about diethylene glycol (yes that's getting really annoying), it's just a report about a study that supposedly shows e-cigs deliver very little nicotine. Maybe his methods are flawed, I...

    When am I going to look & feel better?

    When I quit smoking and started vaping in early October, I quickly lost any trace of a smoker's cough and I've not experienced any chest congestion since then (not even when I got a cold!). But that's the only positive thing I've noticed at all. I don't mean to downplay the awesomeness of my...

    Ecig User Survey: Please follow instructions before taking!!

    Wow. The poll answers are painting a pretty clear picture so far. Very cool. If the headaches continue with people skipping questions, you could ditch this and set it up externally on one of those polling sites, like this.

    Where Can I Get A......? Where's the best place for battery and atty resupplies?

    That always baffles me too. It's a better just to get another kit or two instead of their atty or battery bundles. That's what I've been doing. I mean can you really have too many chargers? not the way I vape! :p

    Weight gain with quitting

    My appetite has remained the same and even though I keep thinking I've gained some weight, I seem to have actually lost a little bit of weight instead. I've had zero energy (and some depression) since I quit smoking, though, so I think maybe I've lost some muscle (been exercising less) and maybe...

    No bowel movement/sensation with ecigs

    I must be getting too much nicotine then because things are moving a little too easily for me. Sometimes I want to smoke just so I can have a normal bowel movement again. :(

    Coughing very badly?

    I think it's a throat sensitivity thing because it was the second the vapor hit the back of my throat that it would make me cough. Also, when I first started, I was trying to smoke it like an analog — short, hard, direct-inhale drags. Once I learned to slowly pull the vapor into my mouth before...

    Is vaping all you need?

    I don't use any tobacco products, but I'd say about once a week I have a day where vaping doesn't quite do it for me. It's not like I have to fight off some strong urge to go smoke or something, but I just feel a distinct lack of something. One those days, I tend to vape heavier (even though it...

    What, wadda mean no POWER?

    We have a gas generator that we can plug into a socket that's hard-wired into a couple circuits in the house. I also have a car charger adapter and I have one of those power inverters for the car too. I think I'd be fine ;D

    Coughing very badly?

    I experienced that same thing. I actually coughed quite a bit every time I tried to vape when I first started. It didn't make any sense how I could inhale smoke with ease, but inhaling vapor was a problem. I'm not sure if it was my technique or just that I needed a little while to adjust to it...

    My "dropper" test results

    Sandi, I can't believe you had the patience to count drops and how many times you vaped! For a while I was very curious to know how the mgs of nic I was vaping compared to the mgs of nic I got from smoking, but I think the smartest and safest thing to do is what you said — go by what your body...

    Spontaneous drop in nicotine need

    I haven't had to vape any high strength (24mg) liquid since I posted this. So it would seem that my spontaneous drop wasn't a fluke. Before, I was mostly vaping medium (18mg) along with high sometimes and low sometimes. Now I'm mostly vaping low (11mg) with medium sometimes and zero sometimes...

    anyone else have shortness of breath?

    I've been vaping exclusively (and fairly heavily) for over 3 months now and have no shortness of breath or any other issues. I use a 510 with Fluval for the cart filler and I use Johnson's Creek PG smoke juice.

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    I'm late to the party, but I am thrilled about this ruling. This is the best would could've hoped for at this point. Woohoo! :D
